Peds Flashcards
Habilitation
Process aimed at helping people attain, keep, or improve skills and functioning for daily living
Rehabilitation
Regaining skills, abilities, or knowledge that may have been lost or compromised as a result of a change in one’s abilities or circumstances
Premature babies
- full term is 40 weeks
- actual age in weeks - how many weeks early = adjusted age (for milestone time)
- typically stop adjusting age between 2-3 years
0-3 months
- Dominated by physiological flexion
- able to clear airway in prone
- rhythmic kicking
- head lag
- lifts head ~45 degrees in prone
- initial asymmetry
- symmetry begins, more antigravity flexion
- flexed supported sitting
- Variation in movement is very important, beginning to be predictive of typical/atypical
3 months
- prone: weight on forearms, may tip over, head ~60degrees
- supine: lift legs off surface, head in midline
- sitting: back rounded, head close to midline, still has head lag with pull-to-sit
- standing: little weight, astasia
- hands loosely fisted
- voluntary grasp on contact
- smooth tracking ~180degrees, beginning of convergence
- turns to sounds consistently at 3-4 months
Signs of baby intolerance
- yawning - hiccough - frantic/disorganized - fidgeting - sneezing - squirming - push away - limp or floppy - skin color changes
Tummy time
- Brain
- Head
- Eyes
- Neck
- Arms/hands
- Tummy
- Back
- Hips
- Legs
- Brain: sensory integration - cognitive development - environmental awareness
- Head: prevents flat head syndrome (plagiocephaly)
- Eyes: visual motor development - depth perception
- Neck: strengthens neck mm - improves head control
- Arms/hands: strengthens arms for reaching and crawling - formation of hand arches for fine motor skills
- Tummy: helps with GI issues
- Back: posture strength - back strength - skeletal alignment
- Hips: stretches/develops hip mm
- Legs: helps develop mm for crawling
Container baby syndrome
Placed in container for excessive amount of time causing a range of conditions to develop: movement - cognitive - social interaction problems - musculoskeletal
Plagiocephaly.brachycephaly
Asd
Facial asymmetry
Asd
Torticollis
Lasd
Clinical signs of container baby syndrome
- Plagiocephaly
- Facial asymmetry
- Torticollis
- Decreased movement, strength, and coordination
- Delays achieving expected motor milestones such as rolling, sitting, or standing in otherwise typically developing child
- Speech, sight, hearing, and cognitive problems
- Increased weight/obesity
AIMS
Measures gross motor maturation in infants from birth - 18mo (or independent walking)
- assesses all forms of motor delays
- CNS dysfunction
Peabody (PDMS-2)
6 sub tests of interrelated motor abilities that develop early in life (birth - 6yrs)
- gross: reflexes, stationary, locomotion, object manipulation
- fine: grasping, visual motor integration
- average: 8-12
- below avg: 6-7
- poor: 4-5
- very poor: 1-3
BOT-2
Assesses motor functioning of children 4-21 years of age
- Fine manual control 2. Manual coordination 3. Body coordination 4. Strength and agility
- further divided into 8 sub tests
- avg: 11-19
- below avg: 6-10
- low: 0-5
